@lovision/plugin-dev

Local development toolchain for Instinct plugins.

Published from the main branch through npm Trusted Publishing.

Provides:

• plugin-dev dev
  • serves manifest.json and the built worker bundle over local HTTPS
  • compatible with the existing sideload/session flow
• plugin-dev build
  • emits a single-file bundle JSON accepted by the host upload flow
• plugin-dev validate
  • runs manifest and bundle validation with actionable diagnostics
• create-instinct-plugin
  • scaffolds a starter plugin project

This package is tooling-only. Worker runtime APIs stay in @lovision/plugin-sdk.

Task-first external-developer guides live under:

• docs/plugin-system-guides/external-developers/README.md
• Getting Started
• Manifest, Permissions, and Network Allowlist
• Diagnostics: Lanes, Rows, and Traces

Typical flow

create-instinct-plugin my-plugin
cd my-plugin
npm install
bun run dev

The dev command prints a manifestUrl that can be added through the editor's plugin development surface.

To build a formal-installable artifact:

bun run build

To validate the current project:

bun run validate
